In His Own Image

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. -Genesis 1:27

The word image here comes from the Hebrew word tselem which means representing the original in an imprecise manner.

Other translations use the word likeness which comes from the Hebrew word demuth meaning pattern.

Man, unlike the rest of creation, is an imprecise representation of God on earth. As God is a trinity with God (the Father), Jesus (the Son), and the Holy Spirit, man is also a trinity with a body, mind, and spirit. As God has dominion over man, man has dominion over the earth.

God demonstrated the ultimate example of setting and achieving goals and creating things. Man has the ability to do the same. Creation is a rewarding process. The rewards of bringing something to life outweigh the pain of the labor.

We are gifted with the ability to create so much: books, paintings, songs, musical instruments, families, businesses, inventions, friendships, support groups, etc. The list is almost never-ending.

What have I created in my life so far? What would I like to begin creating next (now)? What step towards it will I take today?

It Was Good

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. -Genesis 1:31

How often do we as humans finish a project and immediately stand back and notice everything about it that could be better? We are frequently quick to judge what is wrong instead of focusing on what is right.

After several of the days of creation, God saw that what He had made was good. He never saw that it was perfect. He took the time to notice that His creation was good instead of immediately nitpicking it apart.

The next time you finish a project or creation that you labored for, take the time to appreciate it and notice the good.

What have I done in my life that is good, that I haven’t noticed recently?

Rest

And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. -Genesis 2:2

The word rested comes from the Hebrew word shabbat which means to cease or stop, to desist from work or exertion.

God knows the importance of decreasing from work and was the first to establish and practice a weekly day of rest. This wasn’t because He was tired, but He knew the importance of setting an example for us. How often do we get caught up in the business of life and forget to cease or stop our exertion? Unlike God, man becomes less effective when he tries to do too much. We need to take the time for a weekly
